Extra innings

Everyone loves overtime. There is nothing better or more entertaining than watching two teams battle it out and go into extra time to decide the victor. However I believe that there is some serious room for improvement for overtime rules in some of the major sports leagues in the United States. In my opinion, the NFL, MLS, and MLB all have flawed overtime rules that don’t properly determine winners, and I offer changes that I believe will help even the playing field and more accurately determine…

during warm ups. The game did not start the way we wanted it, we played terrible the first four innings, making many errors and mental mistakes that cost runs. The game was starting to favor the other team by a staggering amount, and it was looking like our hard work during the season was about to mean nothing. Then we staged a comeback and started chipping away at their lead. We took the game to extra innings which gave us another chance at winning the big game. Then it took…

are an extended amount of differences in Major League Baseball to High School Baseball. More people understand Major League Baseball more than High School Baseball. In Major League Baseball each game last accordingly nine innings. A High School Baseball game will last seven innings (Leppard). In Major League Baseball batters are allowed to use wooden bats. In High School most baseball players will use metal bats, batters in high school may only use wooden bats if it is BBCOR certified. The…

Angles. I’m so nervous watching the next 3 games. But the Royals late inning heroics continued against the Angles. Mike Moustakes won game 1 with the first extra-inning homerun in club history, an 11th inning homerun gave the Royals a win with the final score being 3 to 2 in game 1. So I start to feel a little better now, but still not safe. So going into game 2 still playing in Los Angeles, Eric Hosmer followed with an 11th inning homerun himself giving them a win with a score of 4 to 1. Also…

tape and listened to music to pass the time. The next game started strong, the other team had talent and the game was scoreless until about the third inning. Jess had nailed a triple deep on the right field line and stole home for the first score. After her triple, it was like she ripped open a bag of hits. The girls rallied six runs that inning and defeated the other team. Two wins down, two more to go! The third game started immediately after the second game. A chubby lady with frosted pink…

warm up. “10 minutes to game time!” the umpire yelled. We were the visitors team which meant we hit first. Everybody on my team was ready to play when the game finally started. The top of our line up went up to bat. We scored two runs in the first inning and then it was time for me to start the game. I went out and the first batter grounded out. Then the second batter got a base hit. The third batter walked up to the plate. He was tall and skinny. I through a pitch down the middle knowing I…

SHREVEPORT, La. – A wild first inning of game two gave way to a wilder sixth inning as Centenary (2-8) took the nightcap of the doubleheader against Southwest Assemblies of God (7-11) 5-3. The visiting Lions won the first game in eight innings, 6-2. After Southwest Assemblies scored three runs, two unearned, to knot the game at three in the top of the sixth, the Ladies struck back with two of their own for the final two-run margin. Junior Anna Dunn led off the bottom of the frame with a double…

In game 1, Curt Schilling pitched with the torn tendon sheath in his right ankle he had suffered in Game 1 of the ALDS against Anaheim, and was routed for six runs in three innings. The Red Sox would wind up losing game 1 10-7. Game 2 was not much different. Boston would wind up losing a close game 3-0. In game 3, the Red Sox would be blown out by a score of 19-8. This was the most runs given up by a team in ALCS history (Wisnia…

Although when it comes to stealing bases in baseball the runner is allowed to steal whenever the ball is live (which is most of the time). In softball you are only allowed to steal once the pitcher releases the ball out of their hand, but the runner is not allowed to leave the base if the pitcher has the ball in the pitching circle. Another major difference between baseball and softball is the how the ball is thrown to the batter. In softball the ball is pitched underhanded and can be fast as it…

What I was looking forward to doing my senior year, was leading my team as a senior to the best we could be. I was working harder than I ever had all winter long leading up to this. I had one goal that I did not see happen any of my four years there, which was getting to the state championship. There were a lot of things that had to go right for this to happen. The team had to be good, they had to work hard every day, they had to win districts, they had to win regional’s, and the most…
